Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 631: Bringing Back the Leader

A group of people made their way towards the location shown in the surveillance, some unaware of the reason, others with ulterior motives, and Li Rui knew that it was possible the mastermind behind this was among them.

But now, it was imperative to ensure His Majesty’s safety, which was of utmost importance!

However, as everyone quickly approached the row of high-class VIP lounges, the person at the forefront immediately discovered a woman lying on the ground, unconscious.

The woman’s right arm was charred black, suggesting it was likely beyond recovery.

She must have passed out from the agonizing pain.

Upon seeing this, Ji Rui rushed over at once and exclaimed, "Ji Rao, what happened to you?"

The people around understood the situation—it seemed that it was Ji Rui’s cousin who had taken action, though apparently without success.

Otherwise, why would her arm have been ruined?

Meanwhile, Li Rui was searching everywhere, even opening the doors of nearby lounges, but there was no trace of Gu Chen!

This meant that Gu Chen must have been taken by Ji Rao, but then something happened along the way—Ji Rao was attacked and the person disappeared without a trace?

With a stern face, Li Rui, accompanied by the people from Landis Star, turned to Ji Rui and said, "You’d better explain what exactly is happening! What’s with the inducement agent in the air, and where exactly has our Emperor gone? It seems that those Mecha attacking us from outside, could they be ones you deployed as well?"

The inducement agent is a drug banned across the Universe.

And those lying in ambush outside were actually operatives from the Universe Alliance, responsible for handling shady affairs and had not infrequently masqueraded as Star Thieves to rob energy spaceships.

Ji Rui could deny knowing about those people in the black Mecha outside.

But with his cousin lying there, her fate unknown, there was undeniable evidence.

He said, "There’s no time to delay, we need to find Gu Chen. Moreover, I have no idea what happened to my cousin here—who knows if she encountered someone and was attacked simultaneously?"

As he spoke, he attempted to have people take Ji Rao away.

Li Rui stepped forward and said, "This woman is related to our Emperor’s disappearance, and we need to interrogate her once she wakes up. Therefore, we will take her with us. However, rest assured, we will have her treated first."

Ji Rui looked at his counterpart—an advanced Commander groomed personally by Gu Jue, with an exceptionally high status in the military of Landis Star.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Rui conceded, "Alright, but please call a doctor for my cousin first."

"Sure."

Meanwhile, where was Gu Chen?

He had been taken aboard an Insectoid spaceship by the Insect God, and the Insectoids on the ship were momentarily stunned but then they understood and went about their tasks.

Their Lord Insect God was always right in what he did, even if it meant... ’bringing back’ someone else’s leader—surely, there was a special purpose for it!

The Insectoids were particularly harmonious and unified in this respect, as they always upheld the absolute leadership of the Insect God and carried out any of his commands without hesitation.

Especially so in the case of the first-generation Insectoids, where this trait was most strongly exhibited, and the second-generation Insectoids—if both their parents were Insectoids—retained absolute loyalty to the Insect God.

However, if one parent was a Beastman or a pure human or Plantman, that absolute loyalty was somewhat different.

Of course, this was an inevitable trend, and the new generation had more of their own ideas. They weren’t rebelling against the Insect God, so, he wasn’t concerned about this at all.

He took Gu Chen into a room, which Gu Chen searched thoroughly, yet there was still no sign of his sister.

The little wolf was not happy.

"You lied to me! Didn’t you say you were going to take me to see my sister and mother?"

"We will go there in the spaceship."

"How long will it take?"

"Just... as long as you sleep." After saying that, the Insect God raised his hand and chopped down towards Gu Chen’s head.

Gu Chen sensed the danger and wanted to resist. The lightning from his fingertips flew over, instantly charring the Insect God’s robe.

He held back because he took into account that the other person was Xiaoyan’s friend, so he did not hurt him. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

But the other person... The Insect God used the most primitive, violent method to knock Gu Chen unconscious.

The world finally became quiet.

The Insect God took out a cute white Little Mushroom and said to it, "Xiaoyan, your brother is in trouble."

Inside Empire University.

Gu Yan was attending class with Vivian, and both young ladies were very serious and studious, never missing a class.

At this time, Gu Yan received a message from Bai Li, almost leaping up in shock!

She crouched down and stealthily replied to Bai Li’s message.

Xiaoyan: Ah, what happened, how is my brother now, where are you?

Bai Li: He was drugged with an Inducement Agent, he’s not clear-headed right now, but he’s not in any immediate danger.

Bai Li: First, you head back to your dormitory. I’ll find a way to get him to you, then you can take your brother home.

Bai Li was an Insectoid and it wasn’t advisable for him to show up and handle this directly.

So this method was safer.

Gu Yan also knew Bai Li’s capabilities. She almost immediately agreed and then looked up, raising her hand pitifully, and said to the teacher, "Teacher, I’m not feeling well. I’d like to go back to the dormitory for a bit."

The teacher approved immediately.

Because Gu Yan was the most earnest and studious student in the class, he wouldn’t think she was lying.

And...

"Do you want to check in at the infirmary?"

Vivian next to her also said with concern, "Xiaoyan, why don’t I accompany you to the infirmary?"

Gu Yan didn’t want to drag Vivian into this matter, but if she refused now, she might give herself away.

So she nodded and said, "Yeah, okay."

As the two left the classroom, Vivian still appeared very worried. Gu Yan whispered, "Vivian, let’s hurry back to the dormitory, we won’t go to the infirmary. I’m fine, it’s my big brother who is in trouble."

Vivian’s heart trembled upon hearing this, "His Majesty is in trouble?"

She belatedly realized her voice was a bit high and that she was overly concerned about Gu Chen. She quickly looked around and whispered, "Sorry, I was a bit shocked."

Gu Yan didn’t notice her unnatural behavior and nodded, "I’m shocked, too. How could someone as powerful as my brother get into trouble? But the situation is a bit tricky right now, so I need to go back to the dormitory and wait. In a little while... soon, my friend will bring him over."

Vivian was startled. Gu Chen was in trouble; why was he being brought here?

In fact, by the time they hurried back to the dormitory, Gu Chen had already been brought over, lying on the living room sofa with his long legs dangling carelessly.

Bai Li, in his school uniform, stood beside him, his cold, emotionless eyes lit up upon seeing Gu Yan.

But Gu Yan rushed straight to Gu Chen, "Big brother, what’s happened to you?"
